Be an exchange student in Germany
Our High School exchange in Germany offers you the highest quality immersion and educational program to improve your language skills and enjoy the one-of-a-kind German culture and landscape.
The primary purpose of this program is to engage with the exchange pupils in such a way that they feel right at home! Based on your application and availability, Nacel will carefully select a great host family match for you, while at the same time granting you the opportunity of becoming part of one of the top educational systems worldwide. Our program places students all across Germany and students may not choose a specific location. Your host family is volunteer and welcomes you as a new member of the family.
Most students in Germany attend the local “Gymnasium” or “Realschule”. With classes ranging from Year 5 to Year 13, the “Gymnasium” is the most advanced school type in Germany; most International students attend Year 10 or 11. Excellence in German proficiency will lead to higher grade placements, however please note that placement decisions are at the sole discretion of the school Principal.
Highlights of the Program:
- Local Guardianship: All of our students are assigned a local representative who will be in charge of ensuring their welfare and progress at all times.
- Summer course: for those in need of a deeper preparation, we may arrange a 2 to 4 week intensive German course.
- Orientation: students will attend a 3 day orientation in Cologne before starting their school year + a mid year seminar in Berlin for those who stay for a year!
Accreditation of Grades: During their exchange program in Germany, students should collect relevant information prior to their departure about the possibilities and processes involved in gaining credits for their studies in Germany. If a transcript of grades is required and/or specific classes need to be attended, this must be ask to the school principal on arrival and is not guaranteed.
Graduation from this program is not possible.
